More quotes by Charles Bukowski
We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.
Charles Bukowski
sometimes I hate you, she said.
Charles Bukowski
What good are you? What can you do? It has cost me a thousands of dollars to raise you, feed you, clothe you! Suppose I left you here on the street? Then what would you do? Catch butterflies
Charles Bukowski
People need me. I fill them. If they can't see me for a while they get desperate, they get sick. But if I see them too often I get sick. It's hard to feed without getting fed.
Charles Bukowski
People don't need love. What they need is success in one form or another. It can be love but it needn't be.
Charles Bukowski
the writing of some men is like a vast bridge that carries you over the many things that claw and tear. The Wine of Forever

Charles Bukowski
If there are junk yards in hell, love is the dog that guards the gates.
Charles Bukowski
It was too much. The comfortable people made comfortable jokes about weather and things but I sat mostly silent saying a word or so when necessary a word or so trying to hide from them the fact that I was a fool and feeling terrible And I was numb, numb again, numb again again and again, numbness and pain swelling in me.
Charles Bukowski
I just want a hot cup of coffee,black,and I don’t want to hear about your troubles.
Charles Bukowski
Most people's deaths are a sham. There's nothing left to die.
Charles Bukowski
...in that drunken place you would like to hand your heart to her and say touch it but then give it back.
Charles Bukowski
An early taste of death is not necessarily a bad thing.
Charles Bukowski
nothing's news. it's the same old thing in disguise. only one thing comes without a disguise and you only see it once, or maybe never. like getting hit by a freight train. makes us realize that all our moaning about long lost girls in gingham dresses is not so important after all.
Charles Bukowski
The world is full of boring, identical and mindless people.
Charles Bukowski
she was consumed by 3 simple things: drink, despair, loneliness and 2 more: youth and beauty
Charles Bukowski
I never met another man I'd rather be. And even if that's a delusion, it's a lucky one.
Charles Bukowski
the grace is being able to like rock music, symphony music, jazz … anything that contains the original energy of joy.
Charles Bukowski
the beautiful are found in the edge of a room crumpled into spiders and needles and silence and we can never understand why they left,they were so beautiful. they dont make it, the beautiful die young and leave the ugly to their ugly lives.
Charles Bukowski
I never pump up my vulgarity. I wait for it to arrive in its own terms.
Charles Bukowski
